The secretary general of the pan-Islamic body, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, called upon the "Muslim world and the international community to urgently honour the pledges they had already announced at the Donors Conference held in Jakarta, in January 2005."

"Despite the passage of one year since the tragedy, the great majority of the population is still living in temporary camps, denuded of the most basic of necessities of a decent life, and the reconstruction process is still way below our expectations," he said in a statement.

Ihsanoglu claimed that OIC members states have been the biggest donors after the disaster, pointing out that their aid to Indonesia was "to the tune of 1.3 billion dollars".

More than 220,000 people were killed last December 26 when giant waves sparked by a massive earthquake crashed into Indian Ocean shores. Some 168,000 Indonesians lost their lives.
